The latest generation of smart carts can scan groceries as customers shop, let customers check out, direct customers efficiently around the store, offer dinner suggestions based on items in the cart and point out items on sale.
The Veeve carts used by Kroger and Albertsons also log data on what shoppers buy, what products need to be restocked and also how consumers move through the store.
Carts like these cost $5000 to $10000. Veeve expects to have about 1,600 carts deployed by the end of 2023 from just 160 today.
